Practice Question of the Week
October 7, 2024: Prevention and Treatment of Influenza in People With HIV
A 48-year-old patient with well-controlled HIV and diabetes mellitus has been feeling sick for 4 days with myalgia, headache, cough, and fever. He develops tachypnea and is admitted to the hospital for low oxygen saturation. Chest radiography show diffuse, hazy infiltrates. Which of the following is the best next step?
A. Test for SARS-CoV-2. He has had symptoms for 4 days, so it will be too late to treat for flu if he has it
B. Test for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. Await results
C. Obtain a (1,3)-β-d-glucan (BDG) test and induced sputum. Start trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole
D. Test for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. Start oseltamivir while awaiting results
E. Start ceftriaxone and azithromycin without any viral testing
